Mr. Ingersoll has been led astray by the same worthless parasites who deceived John Tyler But these are all personal matters. When will Congress proceed to real business, and not waste lfish squabbles? Why don’t they t of the book of ** Oid Rough and do their work, before they go to time in mere 8 leaf « Ready,” and quarrelling about pomts of etiquette? Is it not ume to complete their work on the army and navy afairet—on the tariif’—on the treasury sys- temt—on the foreign steamer service?’ What a sad set of fellows they are at Washington! The President and his Cabinet, in spite of all draw- *, are doing far better than Congress. Old » however, takes the shine out of the whole Z ‘The Oregon Question—An Early Settlement Probable. Reports have been circulated pretty freely si the arrival of thelast steamship, tothe effect that the Oregon question was near a final settlement; and theta final offer by the British government was sent to Mr. Pakenham, which would satisfy the American administration, and the American people. From the fact that an impression of the same nature was formed in England, a short time previous to the sailing of the steamship, the report on this side was corroborated to a great ex- tent, and of course received more credit than it would if no such impression had existed in England. We have been recently informed from pretty good authority, that these reports were not alto- gether without foundation; butas usually isthe case, on questions like this, the superstructure that was raised on the foundation, was rather larger than the foundation would bear. Although no de- finite arrangement has been entered into, it is be- lieved that this question is in a fair way of being | put at rest forever. We have been informed that | for a considerable time past, the American minis- ter,in London, and Lord Aberdeen, have had their heads together, consulting for the purpose of endeavoring to arrive at some principal line or boundary, upon which both could agree in the main. These informal conversations or protocols, if they may be so termed, were dictated by the most praiseworthy and patriotic motives, on the partof both of these gentlemen, who were ac- tuated solely by their love of country, and a desire to prevent the amicable relations existing between their respective nations, from being interrupted by 2 question that needed only calmness and mu- tual confidence, for a satisfactory and peaceful ad- justment. The result of these informal meetings has{been such, that they have accomplished more | towards arriving at a settlement of the boundary line, than all the blastering and speechifying of the 49th or 5440 men in Congress, could do in a lifetime. While they avoided touching upon any subject which was at all extraneous to the matter under discussion, they quietly and gently consult- ed together, conceded as much as they considered their respective governments would, if necessary, authorise them to do, and arrived ata rough set- udement; which needs but a litle trimming, or polishing off of the corners, to make it acceptable to the people of both countries. This settlement is substantially the same as that referred to in the newspapers; with the exception, that the only Matter which requires any amount of delibera- tion, is the time for which the British government shall have the free navigation of the Columbia river. Protocols of these informal and sponta- neous meetings have been forwarded by Mr. Me- Lane to the President, at Washington, who will shortly submit them to the Senate. If the Senate ehould courur in the principle agreed upon be- tween Mr. McLane and Lord Aberdeen, as a pro- per basis for re-opening negotiations,the President will accordingly re-open them; and that done, we may consider the Oregon question adjusted for- ever. The little difference that may be between Mr. McLane and Lord Aberdeen, can be easily overcome by negotiation, conducted ina tempe- rate manner—a treaty will be agreed upon which the Senate will ratify, and the old war horse will be put on the shelf, much to the satisfaction of a majority of the people of both countries. These impressions in Wall street have caused stocks to rise. ‘Tae Was Derarrment anv THe GENKRALS.— The difficulties between the War Department and General Gaines and General Scott, are be- ginning to create a great deal of attention, excite @ good deal of discussion, and present some curi, ous features to the general reader. It appears that Field Marshal Marcy has ordered General Gaines to Washington, for not only obeying the orders of the Department, but for over obeying them toa Certain extent. It appears, also, that General Scott is in difficulty with the Department, in con- sequence of his not obeying the Department, or in refusing to go to the Rio Grande to finish the war. These difficulties are lending toa it deal of bad feeling; and any one whesien eel thee will be doing a great favor to the War Department, if he will undertake it at a low price. Could not Field Marshal Marcy strike a balance between the aggregate orders that issued from the Depart- ment, and the aggregate amount of obedience that was paid to them? We have the highest opinion of the chivalry, bravery, and undoubted courage of beth Genorals,and we are willing to be. lieve in the wisdom and extensive military re. searches of the Department. These quarrels can ‘ead to no good, and onght to be terminated as soon a8 possible. If the orders of the Secretary tre added up in one column,and the obedience of the two Generals in another, it is highly probable that both the aggregates will be equal, and that in fact there has been no general disobedience of orders. This is the best way to view the matter, in our opinion. Secretary Marcy has been famous, in former years, for patching up unfortunate rents in matters of smail importance, atas low an expense as fifty cents a hole; and we really hope that he will be able in the present case, which is also small, to mend the difficulty that has now erase ‘between the Generals and War Department, at as cheap a rate. the Rio Grande is obvious. The question, therefore, is, will the peace party succeed so far as to derange his plans for the de- fence of Tampico, Vera Cruz, and other places which axe points of attack? The government organ at Washington states, that expeditions are being fitted out to make de- monstrations at several points at onee, such as Sante Fe, Tampico, Vera Cruz, &c., &c. Of course, nobody relies on the statements of the or- gan, although, if it had not stated the fact, we should be inclined to believe it. We are, conse- quently, in doubt as to the truth of the assertion. In the meantime our government have des- patched a war vessel to transport Santa Anna and his suite from Havana to Vera Cruz—evidently with the design of combating Paredes by a revo- lution, Santa Anna will ride into power on the ruin of the war party, should he succeed in ac- complishing a revolution. He will, doubtless, in that event, re-establish the constitution of 1824 and put, on a secure footing of lasting peace, the relations between his own government and that of tue United States. Santa Anna is opposed to | the war with the United States; and if the Mexi- | can people can be convinced of the folly of pro. | longing hostilities, there is little doubt that Paredes will find himself, in a short time, without an army, , and powerless. | It is by all means desirable that the war should | be terminated as soon as possible, before the Go- vernments of Europe find a pretext for interfer- | ence. Should France or England find any pre- | text for interfering, it is impossible to foretell the result, It is, therefore, highly commendable in our government, to give every facility to Santa | Anna to drive from power the demagogueical fac- tion,that have taken advantage of the state of pub- | lic feeling in Mexico, to institute hostilities against | the United States. Should Santa Anna succeed, | we may count upon the speedy termination of the | war. But we are not as yet informed what pre- parations Paredes has made to resisthim. Every thing is, therefore, at present in a state of uncer- | tainty. A few days will enlighten us as to the re- | sult, Meanwhile, to this however, it should be re- | membered that in 1828 or 1829, an expedition of | about 1800 men under Gen. Baradas, was fitted out at Havana against Mexico; the expedition | landed safe at Tampico in August of that year, with the exception of one or two transports with | 400 men, which by a gale were obliged to put into New Orleans. The Spanish troops landed at Tampico, drove off the Mexicans, and proceeded | about twenty miles in the interior; they, how- ; ever, retreated to Tampico, encountering a | large Mexican force and no sympathy. The expedition was a failure; but its ill success was owing to bad management on the part of the Spanish General, Baradas—an ignorant man, who obtained his military rank from favor and | not from real service—and because the Spanish Commodore, Laborde, a brave and skilful sailor, was opposed to the whole affair. The 1800 men, however, took possession of Tampico. The point we wish to impress on our readers | from this, is,that the Spaniards thought that Tam- | pico was the only feasible way of attacking Mexico. It is supposed that the Spaniards had the best knowledge of the vulnerable points of | attack. | Daviv Hate vs. Gen Gatnes.—The Journal of Commerce, of yesterday, Gaines, comes out against Gen, | for the promptitude with which he called | | out an efficient force to aid Gen. Taylor, in the late | threatening aspect of affairs on the Rio Grande. Weare not at all surprised to find our pious and amiable contemporary come out in condemnation of General Gaines, for the manly, patriotic, and prompt conduct of the latter, because the pious old gentleman always contrives to be in direct op- | position to whatever is praiseworthy; but we cannot but think him guilty of the most contemp- tible meanness, in making a scurrilous attack upon the amiable and accomplished lady of Gen. Gaines. Thi busing the power of the press, for a most unwarrantable and unworthy purpose, using the hackneyed weapons of newspaper war- | fare, to annoy an estimable lady. Miuirary.—Within two weeks nearly 3000 men have been enrolled in this city, under the call of the President of the United States, and most if not all of them hove been inspected and accepted by the Adjutant General. We are glad to hear that these volunteers have adopted a light, plain uniform, appropriate to actual service; that they are in constant attendance at “ company drill,” and it is expected that they will all be or- ganized into regiments ina few days. The arms, ‘we suppose, will be furnished by the Government. If these 3000 volunteers can be made ready to form a part of the great parade on the 4th July, it will attract a vast number of persons to the city, and add very much to the display on that occa- | sion. They will then be ready to go to Mexico. | ‘Tux Cost or Wan—The expense to this country, in specie, of the Revolutionary war, was estimated at about $135,000,000. Between the years ‘76, and 1781, Congress issued $357,476,541 of conti- | nental, or paper money, which, during that time, | depreciated to a very low standard. In addition | to this issue, Congress obtained a loan from Hol- | land of over $4,000,000, and from France of near- | ly $4,000,000. The war of 1812 cost this country | between 100 and 150 millions of dollars. The first | year of the Mexican war will, according to pre- sent calculation, cost from 50 to 100 millions. | Queer Justicr.—General Gaines is to be court martialed, and broke, for obeying the President's | orders too much—and General Scotts to be made President, for disobeying them, and refusing to goto the Rio Grande. Queer, isn’t it?

Willis, we have advices from Vera Cruz to the 25th ult., five days later than those brought by Thetis. The Louisi- ana sailed in company with the Helen McLeod, leaving no American vessels in port. Brig Peters- burg, for New York, sailed on May 2Ist. Block- ade of Vera Cruz commence! on the 20th, fifteen days being allowed all neutral vessels in port, to loadand depart. By order of the Mexican gov- ernment the American consul’s affairs had tobe closed. All American citizens were to leave on the 26th. On that day the consul expected to go on board the steam frigate Mississippi. The Ra- titan frigate arrived on the 25th, and found a sloop lying off the port. Got off in haste, to prevent being seized The day they sailed, news reached Vera Cruz that Mazatlan, (on the Pacific,) had pronounced against Paredes. Gen. Alvarez was still carrying on his hostile pre- parations in the south part of Mexico. A report to leave the city of Mexico at the head of more troops to reinforce the army of the north. Great animosity existed against Americans, increased by the news of the second action of the 8th and 9th. Enormous forced loans had been imposed upon the clergy by the government. The clergy had declared itself totally unable to get the Metropo- litan churches prepared to furnish subsidies of $98,000 per month; churches of Mechoacan, $5,000; of Pueblo, $40,000 ; of Guadalaxara; $20,- 000; of Durango, $15,000; of Oaxaca, $8,000.— These great sums show that the president is deter- mined ‘to prosecute the war with energy. Senor Gondey has been arrested by the government.— General Almonte has made formal resignation of his mission to France. In regard to Paredes put- ting himself at the head of the army, the El Re- pair to the Rio Grande or to Vera Cruz. He would leave the capital as soon as Congress assembled. Accounts of the disastrous actions of the 8th and 9th had,been received at the capital,§ and appear- in the official journal. They are more accu- rate than Mexican bulletins generally, and do credit to Arista. The news was received with | regret, but with a determinasion to fight the war out. [From the N. O. Jeffersonian, June 2.) The steamer Mary Kingston arrived last even- ing, four days from Point Isabel. On the 26th ult., about 400 rangers and 200 infantry volunteers arrived from Texas, at that place, by the way of | Padre Island. Among the infantry was a com- pany, 80 in number, all German emigrants from La Baco Bay, which was said to be the finest company at that point. A party of dragoons, (rangers,) went in pursuit of Arista’s forces, who had fled from Matamoras on the 18th, and after a slight rencontre with the rear guards, captured some mules and a small lot of camp equipments. The taking of Matamoras witho:t a single shot, has in a great measure, quelled the fears of those who believed that the | Mexicans were determined to prosecute with un- | abating vigor, the attack upon Fort Brown. After describing the taking possession of Mata- Ampudia retreated from the town immediately after an interview with Gen. Arista. He retreat- ed to the Rio Del Norte, where he is now en- camped, awaiting a reinforcement from Paredes, who, it is reported, is on his way there with 15,000 men. This, however, is not authenticated. The general impression is, that Arista intends concen- | trating his forces at Rionosa, and when he has received a sufficient reinforcement from Paredes, he will renew hostilities. The troops landing at Brasos Santiago are on- camped there and at Point Isabel, and will remain there until further orders from General Taylor. There are now over 2,000 troops daily landing. Cols. Davis and Reminents are there, encamped in Fort Polk. They are all in good health, but some suffering exists from the want of clean, pure water. The Expectandor of the 24th ult. published in the city of Mexico, gives a description of the kind of war the Mexican government proposes to carry on against the United States. It is Guerrilla war, no pitched battles to be fought, but the country to be laid waste, our troops harrassed, and all sup- plies cut off. The Mexicans are well skilled in this mode of warfare. It will therefore be neces- sary for our government to organize our forces into large bodies, and to advance into Mexico without delay, otherwise the war will be protracted for years. 1 [From the N. Orleans Jeffersonian, June 2d.) The fine steamship New York left Galveston on the 30th inst., and brings us dates up to that day. They contain nothing later from the seat of war, but the following will be found interesting. (From the Galveston News.) | The sloop Tom Jack, Capt. Parker, arrived | yesterday morning from Corpus Christi. She left | Aransas Pass last Monday, at which place tho | steamship Sea had just arrived from Brazes San- tingo. Some of the persons connected with the army from St. Joseph’s Island and Corpus Christi. On board the Sea, were MoCleister, Lieutenant Humphreys and Mr. Rogers, all of whom it were | supposed to have been killed. The former, in- deed, was severely wounded and supposed to be dead by the Mexicans. To this circumstance he | owes his escape. He was subsequently found in | the and taken to Matamoras, where he | was well treated and recovered from his wounds. Mr. Rogers, accompanied with fifteen men, two | women and one child, started from Corpus Chris- | ti for Point Isabel on the second or third instant. They arrived at the Little Colorado a day or two, before the battle of the 8th, where they were sur- | prised by a company of Mexican ranoheros, (ea- | valry,) and being overcome by supenor numbers, | they were compelled to surronder on a promise of | fine being treated as prisoners of war. As soon, howe- | ver, as they delivered up their arms, they were tied | four together, stripped of their clothing, and rob- | bed of all their money, of which they had a conside- | rable sum.

We left the Rasaca | dela Palma, the scene of our Inst battle, on the Lith, and marched into the fort, occupying our former encamp, | ment. Here we remained until the 17th, when our train | having arrived, with « supply of ammunition and two mortars, we commenced our march up the river for | the purpose of crossing three miles sbove and ta | king Metamores. Here we learnt that Arista, with | all his forces, had evacuated the town and was in | fall retreat towards Monterey. He hed previously | destroyed or concealed all the public property, throw- | ing the heavy guns and mortars he could not take | wh him into the river, besides immense quantities of | ammunition. Notwithstanding the large quantities of | the latter destroyed, 17 wagon loads were found con- | cealed in diferent perts of the town, besides a | large amount of clo! , corm, ke. guns were also recovered from the river.

They suc in capturing twenty-five men with their baggage and arms, | in doing which two of the Mexicans were killed and two of the Texians wounded. It was the latter who killed the Mexicans. It appears that this body of men had been left behind to mend their wagon. They stated that Arista was fifteen miles in advance, retreating | in good order, with four thousand men and seven | pieces of cannon. It is probably fortunate that our party did not come up with them, as the Mexicans would certainly have u: them up. All accounts ty in stating that the Mexicans had, in the two battles, regular } with 1000 rancheros—these latter would have cut all our throats had the victory gone the other way. To this force we were only able to bring 2900 in | the first jement, and 2100 in the last. Speaking of | en; | these Dloodtiraty wretches, the rancheros—a body of them attacked « Party of citizens, sixteen in number, | near the Colorado, while coming from Corpus Christi to , ourcamp. Among the number was Squire ers and | his two sons. They took them to the bank of the river, | having tied them together, cut their throats. stripped, and | threw their bodies into the river. The only survivor of | the party was William Rogers, who, notwi his throat had been cut in a shocking manner, succeeded in swimming to the opposite bank, and escaped, entirely naked. After wandering about two days, he came across a Mexican house, the inhabitants of which gave him a | pair of pantaloons, and took him to Matamoras, where he | ‘was put in one of the hospitals The day after our arri- | val at the fort the Mexicans sent him over with some of | our wounded prisoners.

A oon was drowned at the same | time. It was rumored that we will shortly march upon Comarge, and other towns on the Rio Grande.

This fact, and several others of a | similar nature, in relation to companies raised for Col. Saunder’s regiment, which we might cite, serves to show | the extreme short-sightedness of the War Department in countermanding the orders of Gen Gaines, authorizing | the regiment to be raised.

Parx Tuxatre.—Last evening concluded the engsge- ment of Mr. and Mrs. Kean at this theatre. The tragedy of the “ Gamester,” and the drama of ‘‘ Don Cesar de Ba- zan” were performed on the occasion, in both of which these unrivalled artists appeared. In no former instance did the Keans appear to better advantage than last even- ing; they appeared to excel even themselves. At the conclusion of the second piece the audience rose en masse, and by demonstrations not to be misunderstood, called Mr. Kean and his lady to the front ef the stage.— Mr.Kean appeared, leading bis lady, and after she had retired, having bowed his acknowledgments for this un- questionable mark of esteem, delivered the following ad- dress :— Lapies axp Ect ewig vl =* havi eo Our engagements for the soasop ing Bow concle.- ded, we gratefully return our heartfelt American public for the brilliant success that has attend. | soy ree they jat they -h ed our s throughout the United States.
